Odaka Castle

History

Odaka Castle built by Hanai Bitchu-no-kami around 1504-1521. From 1532-1558 it was controlled by the Mizuno clan. Originally the Mizuno were allied with the Imagawa but switch to Oda Nobunaga. In 1559, Yamaguchi Noritsugu, an ally of the Imagawa attacked and captured Odaka Castle. Oda built the Marune and Washizu forts nearby to cut off Yamaguchi from the Imagawa supply lines. In a famous maneuver, Tokugawa Ieyasu charged through the Oda lines with his men on horseback and delivered supplies to Odaka Castle. Ieyasu stayed in Odaka Castle until after the Battle of Okehazama (1560) when he moved back to Okazaki Castle. The castle returned to Oda hands but was soon abandoned.
